The Integrity Group of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), also known as the G-5, yesterday failed to reveal their presidential candidate for the February elect
While Wike and Makinde were said to have been disposed to Tinubu, Ortom was leaning towards Obi, whom he had openly endorsed.LEADERSHIP further reported that Governors Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu were not ready to support Tinubu for fear of backlash since Obi, who is from the South East as them, is also on the ballot.
Addressing a mammoth crowd at the flag-off campaign of Governor Seyi Makinde re-election bid in Ibadan, leader of the G5 governors, Wike, said Makinde will tell them who to vote at the presidential polls. According to Ortom, the G5 governors are committed members of PDP and are working round the clock to ensure that the party wins all elections in their respective states.
He hailed Makinde’s commitment to development of Oyo State and expressed optimism that the people of the state would return him for a second term. “One of the reasons that the meeting in London did not pull through is their alleged demand; the demand that the G-5 came with could not be accommodated given the fact that the damage that they thought they were capable of doing had not happened after five months. Atiku is still considered as leading.
“And the more time went by, people have come to realise that the campaign is not about equity, justice and fairness but about interest aggregation and factoring.
